Steve R @RT15971205 11/19/2024 I have watched the Food Network transition from simple and informative to the food game show network. I am interested in learning to be a better cook, not in watching Bobby Flay humiliate a restaurateur in their own specialty. Then I saw an ad for La Pitchoune: Cooking in France and was intrigued enough to subscribe to HGTV in order to watch it. It did not disappoint on any level. They cooked the way I like to cook, with fresh ingredients and without recipes. Their field trips were informative and filled with local charm. The hosts were passionate about their food, their lifestyle and teaching their guests. These were whole people doing what they loved while allowing me to evesdrop on their activities. When the season ended I could not wait for the second season to begin. When I learned there would be no second season, I mourned. This series is special and is worthy of savoring through each episode. Give it a try. You just may like it as much as I did.

The dogs and cats are cute. Two episodes watched. See more neil s @RT86186215 11/30/2022 So boring! The guests seem very nice, as do the owners/chefs, but so poorly paced, long sequences that lead nowhere, and how did they afford to buy Julia Child's home in France? See more Read all reviews
